Sian Hamshaw is a 25-year-old waitress from Barnsley.

"If you can make me laugh then you're in."

Why is Sian Hamshaw on Big Brother and is she on social media?

Speaking about going into Big Brother she said: "I’m spontaneous – I’m the type of person to book a holiday on my own and just go and see new things.
"I am in a routine – go to work, go to café, to home. I’ve never applied before, but when your mates push you to something and you get really excited.
"I’m going to see what will happen. I think my family and friends will be really shocked to see me going into the House."

Who won Big Brother 2017?

The reality star - who won £65,000 - revealed she would be donating some of her winnings to a mental health charity.

Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: "I just think that mental health is really neglected because people don’t see it - so like, a broken leg is given more attention than like something that’s within your head.

"And until you’ve suffered from anxiety or anything along those lines you don’t know how people are feeling and it’s so important to raise awareness."

The 21-year-old was left shocked when it was announced she had won the latest series of the Channel 5 reality show.

Reflecting on her time in the house, Isabelle said she did her best to stay calm in the many arguments which ensued.
